This report will be discussing the views on parent adopting children of difference races and colour. It will also be explaining the word used to describe for parents adopting children of different race and colour. Additionally, the report will also mention the history and meaning of ‘trans-racial adoption’ and the arguments that surround this topic. The terminology used for parent to adopt a child of another race or colour is trans-racial adoption (TRA) or inter-racial adoption. The meaning of TRA is to place a child from a race or ethnic group with adoptive parents of another race or ethnic group. The question within society has been arisen whether children should always be placed in a home where the parents are from the same race or colour, which is where issues of whether TRA is practical in the long run.

The most heated controversy throughout the history of TRA, has been to do with black children being adopted by white adoptive parents. Andrew Morrison states from his 2004 Journal “Trans-racial Adoption: The Pros and Cons and the Parents’ Perspective” that black families rarely adopt white children as there are considerably more white parents who are generally looking to adopt. Up to 40% of children who are up for adoption are black, and social workers often refuse to accept the idea of black parents adopting white children

In the public record, the first publicly recorded documentation in the United States that white parents adopted a Black child shows that such an adoption took place in 1948, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Until the 1950s, TRA was almost unheard-of; the prevailing policy and practice of adoption agencies discouraged such adoptions. The justification for these policies and practices was the prevailing belief that race matching would increase the chances of a good parent child relationship. Although TRA of Native American children had occurred frequently over the past century, formal placement of Native American children with white parents...

The modern pulp and paper industry is global, with China leading production and the United States behind it.To make pulp from wood, a chemical pulping process separates lignin from cellulose fibers. This is accomplished by dissolving lignin in a cooking liquor, so that it may be washed from the cellulose fibers. This preserves the length of the cellulose fibers. Paper made from chemical pulps are also known as wood-free papers–not to be confused with tree-free paper. This is because they do not contain lignin, which deteriorates over time. The pulp can also be bleached to produce white paper, but this consumes 5% of the fibers. Chemical pulping processes are not used to make paper made from cotton, which is already 90% cellulose.

There are three main chemical pulping processes. The sulfite process dates back to the 1840s, and it was the dominant process before the second world war. The kraft process, invented in the 1870s and first used in the 1890s, is now the most commonly practiced strategy. One advantage is a chemical...

...acts of injury. So, are parents actually teaching their children violence?
When a parent spanks a child, whether they are aware of it or not, they are teaching that child violence. They are teaching them that hitting someone else is okay. In his article "The 13 Ways Spanking Harms Children," Michael J. Marshall, PhD, says that "children who are spanked engage in more hitting and fighting than those who are not physically punished by their parents." Relying on spanking when parents think its needed could cause them to take it further than they should. This could raise the chances of acting out a form of child abuse. Some people say that spanking is acceptable as long as parents set boundaries, such as only use your hand, limit the number of swats to just a few, and always leave their clothes on, but not all children are the same. Some children can be a little more strong willed than others. Parents of these children may find
themselves in a position where they have to hit harder than usual to get the child's attention and have a disciplinary effect. So, clearly boundaries do not work either. No matter how hard or soft a parent spanks a child, they are still going to show some sort of violence. Even if parents don't think...

...Shouldparents smack their children?
In this essay I am going to outline and assess the effects of smacking children and what the consequences are in later life. I will use evidence and statistics and evaluate the outcome of them.
Do you want your child to grow up with violence, theft, drugs and bulling?
Dr Phill Jones argues that children who were smacked as a child are more likely to bully, use drugs and get involved in violent crime. Children may not always feel safe out in the real world and the one place they should feel safe is in their own home.
Based on research carried out in 2002, more than 90% of parents in the USA use physical punishment. It suggest without making empirical conclusion that parents who do not use physical punishment have on average better behaved children and that such punishment while a good way to force conformity in early life will tend to cause devoting behaviour when the child grows up. Thus a way to help minimise crime in society could be to ban this type of punishment.
Graham Turner, a sociologist, says that smacking can grow into more serious forms of abuse. He says parents smack their children because they are unable to explain and teach a child what is right and wrong and they smack them because their kids won't respond to any...

ShouldParents Physically Discipline Their Children?
Shouldparents physically discipline their child for doing something wrong? I say yes! I think physically discipline one’s child will correct behavior problems, improve grades, and help them to become well mannered; but I am going to let the Bible’s point of view answer this question.
The history of the Bible says, “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive if far from him” (Proverbs 22:15). The Hebrew word for “foolishness” does not speak of “playful mischief.” It speaks of “an inability to discern what is good.” Children (with their limited knowledge and experience) are not able to discern what is best for them. For example, a two year old may want ice cream for breakfast, because he has no understanding of balanced nutrition. Small children need to be told what to do, and not asked if they want to do it. And then, as they increase in years an experience, gradually, they should be allowed to make more and more decisions on their own. (DeVitio 69.4)
According to my research I found at least six Bible verses that included discipline, but to name a few. He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes (Proverbs 13:24) Withhold no correction from the child:...

...ShouldParents Be Allowed To Spank Their Children?
The inhuman act of corporal punishment at home that is discouraged globally by a number of pressure groups and social welfare organizations should be completely banned, and parentsshould be allowed to spank their children. Physical violence practiced on children also known as corporal punishment has been discouraged globally by a number of pressure groups and social organizations for a number of reasons with serious consequences for violators. In this paper, I will examine the arguments for and the arguments against corporal punishment explaining why I support my thesis.
Firstly, Corporal punishment and violence at homes lower a child’s self esteem. Physical violence practiced on a child may result in long-term psychological effects such as anger issues and abnormal social behavior. A study conducted by Elizabeth Gershoff suggested a strong link between corporal punishment and unusual child behavior such as antisocial behavior and increased aggression. Corporal punishment is also said to have reduced IQ levels. Murray Straus, a member of the UNH, family research lab conducted a survey that established an inverse relationship between the national average IQ level and the percentage of individuals who were spanked or hit as teenagers. From his research, it was clear that the percentage of...

...Asian cultures strongly believe in filial piety, that is, love and respect for one's parents.
Social networking websites such as popular Facebook and Twitter cause issues with occupations and careers, relationships and marriages, education of our future leaders, and a total breakdown in communication. -It is proven that as social media becomes the latest branding strategy, networking technique, job seeking tool and recruitment method, it's becoming the latest way for people to get job offers rescinded, reprimanded at work and even fired. -Education as a result of social networking has negative effects. Go to Yahoo Answers and see how many people use networking to try and answer their math homework or the science equation they need to balance. Thousands, if not millions of students immediately turn to social networking to be able to complete their homework (for them). For students today, they forget the need to filter the information they post. Many colleges and potential employers take a look at an applicant’s social networking profiles before granting acceptance or interviews. Most students don’t constantly evaluate the content they’re publishing online, which can bring about negative consequences months or years down the road. -In this technological decade, social network has become an indispensable thing. No matter what we are doing, we will use it. A social networking site can be defined as an online service. Social networking sites include...

...“Parents must learn to raise their sons and daughters on a good path, and they have responsibility for the behaviors of the kids “.This is speech from Arabic culture. The priority for parents is to educate and discipline their children. Children need some freedom to build their self-confidence that parents see their children as their future .Although some people give more freedom to theirchildren and they think that their decisions are in correct direction; others think that more freedom has negative influences on children’s behavior. It seems to me that more liberty has the negative influences on the ethics of the children for several reasons.
Society has the largest impacts on the children manners .if the parents give to their children the make connection with society without control ,the children will make relations with anyone in the community .Basically, children don’t have any experiences in the their life’s and this relationships toward to bad situation .For example, in my country , some research have taken for many years and studied the sources of the drugs crime. Consequently, the psychological people found that was the highest percent of the crimes with children who lived in the same area and these crimes related the...

...learning valuable things required to be well-adjusted person through school life. On the other hand, some people claim that parents are in a better position to teach children instead of teachers in school. However, I totally disagree with the idea that home-schooling can substitute for teaching in school.
Going to the school gives much more to children than just an education. Childrenshould learn interpersonal relationship by making friends with classmates who are in same age. Living one’s own life is the process of socialization with a variety people. Socializing with peers and teachers in school is the first step toward establishing one’s own identity. Besides, friendship built between the peer group is the biggest asset for children, which is cultivating cooperation and making them have a better understanding of other people.
Regarding home-schooling by parents, parents are able to provide their kids with one on one attention so that children are touched by careful concern. But I wonder how many parents are certified to teach and how much time they can spare for home schooling every day. It seems that there’s low possibility to get many opportunities for learning interpersonal skill and acquiring social skills which is important to form a personality.
In conclusion, having...
